    Is this your post on Reddit as well? https://old.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/1pcdsn9/...

    I am/was a contractor and I still get a bunch of requests on LinkedIn from recruiters, so it's not that, it must be your resume or something similar. For me I have all the latest buzzwords, as I work as a full stack dev, so React, Node, TypeScript, even AI now, etc. That seems to get me through recruiter searches. I also put down my LLC I've been using for the last several years and haven't seen any sort of discrimination on that.

      Nope, that wasn't me. I have the Node, React, Typescript etc. buzzwords in droves (that's been the bulk of my career experience).

      Maybe emphasizing AI more would help like you mentioned, or maybe I need to be looking in different markets.

    I would say that it isn’t contracting. The market just suck now for developers. It’s hard to stand out from the crowd. Every open req gets hundreds of applications within hours.
